    Its not a cross browser issue.

    What attempts have you made to fix it?

    Add the following to your CSS

    1) within the body {} section, add "text-align:center" (note that that's the American spelling)
    2) add a div { text-align:left }

    or in your first div inside your body, simply remove the width style, as it contains a table with a specified with.
    Removing the div witdh style will centre the table in both IE and FF

    I wouldn't really recommend doing that

    1 "container" div with a { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; } will do the job for you and you don't have to go correcting text-alignment issues

    Fair point....the reason I suggested that way is because it's a skinned forum.....it'd be easier to apply a CSS solution to the skin rather than adding container div open code to a header file and container div close code to the footer file, particularly since you'd be opening the potential for a future update to the forum software to overwrite the "fix".

    But in an ideal world, I'd 100% agree.....
